I was on Winnipasauke on Saturday. Not as bad as above, but it was still a mad house. No offense to gmcunni, but the PWCs were a major nuisance. I can see why they are banned on many water bodies.

Winni's got some crazy laws which is why you would not see that there. They don't allow the rafting (which we really enjoy) but I've seen both Braun Bay and West Alton sandbar and they get pretty crazy and the passage back to Pagus Bay has worst traffic then I've ever seen on Hopatcong. Byram Cove is deep (drops right from shore to 30 feet). Another one of our favorite tie-up party places is Log Bay on Lake George which is a sandbar like Braun and West Alton.

Picked up a passenger on my way home last night. It's getting dark pretty early now. I had to do some paddling in the dark on the final leg of my trip home. For that reason, I guess, I decided to listen to the Yankees/Mets game with only one earbud in. I felt something hit my shoulder, followed by a flopping sound in the bottom of my boat. A 4" small mouth bass had bounced off my shoulder, and landed in my boat. If I had both earbuds in, I doubt Id've even noticed it flopping around.

Hopped right in, just like those Asian carp videos. I'm glad I did notice him, just snapped a couple pics, and tossed him back in the drink. I was in about 6" of water when he leapt in. Here's an action shot in mid flop.
